Caribbean and Atlantic Diaspora Dance
In Caribbean and Atlantic Diaspora Dance: Igniting Citizenship, Yvonne Daniel provides a sweeping cultural and historical examination of diaspora dance genres. In discussing relationships among African, Caribbean, and other diasporic dances, Daniel investigates social dances brought to the islands by Europeans and Africans, including quadrilles and drum-dances as well as popular dances that followed, such as Carnival parading, Pan-Caribbean danzas,rumba, merengue, mambo, reggae, and zouk. Daniel reviews sacred dance and closely documents combat dances, such as Martinican ladja, Trinidadian kalinda, and Cuban juego de maní. In drawing on scores of performers and consultants from the region as well as on her own professional dance experience and acumen, Daniel adeptly places Caribbean dance in the context of cultural and economic globalization, connecting local practices to transnational and global processes and emphasizing the important role of dance in critical regional tourism.

Mama Says
Mama Says is a delightful, funny, and very wise book of over 400 sayings from mothers from around the world that represent a lineage of mothers' wisdom. The sayings are not always kind, not always useful, but always true to the intention of teaching young ones how to survive in the world. Many times, it's clear that these sayings are inherited wisdom, received from their mothers who learned it from theirs back into the untraceable past: "Nobody said life was fair.""You don't have anything to lose by asking." "From your mouth to God's ears." "Men only want one thing." Many times, what mama had to say was simply outrageous: "When faced with a room full of horse shit, look for the horse." "There's always something to come along to shorten the tail of the rabbit." "Whatever situation you find yourself in, think of what the Virgin Mary would do and do the same." Mama Says will make anybody laugh out loud remembering what Mom used to say, or smile recognizing how often we end up with the exact same words coming out of our own mouths. After all, "sooner or later, we all quote our mothers."
A History of Scientific Journals
Modern scientific research has changed so much since Isaac Newton’s day: it is more professional, collaborative and international, with more complicated equipment and a more diverse community of researchers. Yet the use of scientific journals to report, share and store results is a thread that runs through the history of science from Newton’s day to ours. Scientific journals are now central to academic research and careers. Their editorial and peer-review processes act as a check on new claims and findings, and researchers build their careers on the list of journal articles they have published. The journal that reported Newton’s optical experiments still exists. First published in 1665...
The Religion of Love
The Religion of Love is written for those who are seriously searching for wisdom and the path that leads to the Divine. The journey is long and tedious, but those who honestly search will find it. To each soul, God may appear different, but it is the appearance that is unique, not the reality. God reveals himself or herself to us depending upon how eager and committed our search is. Our love and the understanding of God will ultimately change our perception of the truth. This book will guide you on your walk with God and illustrate how to find God. It will also show you: what God desires, the purpose of life, a practical approach to prayers, how to find your path in life, the secrets of the kingdom of God as mentioned in the Bible, how to become a light worker. The goal of this book is to provide missing information that can awaken or revolutionize consciousness by providing information on religion that has often been limited to morality or sociality and sometimes theology. And finally, create an environment where religious vibes can flourish.
